I can’t light
no more of your dark
(C)ness.
All my pic tures
seem to fade to black and white.
I’m grow ing tired
and time stands still be fore
(C)me.
Fro zen here,
on the lad der of my (G)life.
Too late
to save my self from (C)fall
ing.
I took a chance
and changed your way of life.
But you mis read
my mean ing when I (F)met you.
Closed the door
and left me blind ed
by the light.
Don’t let the sun go (C)down on me.
Al though I search my self, it’s al ways (D7)some one else I see.
I’d just al low a frag ment of your (F)life
to wan der free.
But (F)los ing ev ’ry thing is like the (Dm)sun (C)go (F)ing (C)down (F)on (C)me.
I can’t find,
oh, the right ro (C)man tic line.
But see me once
and see the way I feel.
Don’t dis card me
just be cause you think I mean you harm.
But these cuts I have,
oh, they need (C)love
to help them (G)heal.
(C)me.
